| 1. Cut the pieces.
|
From background fabric
(white) cut the following:
-
4 3/4 X 4 3/4 inch square--cut
1. This is your C square.Note: you may want to cut this one on the
bias to preserve the grainline of the block, since it's set into the block
on point. However, this would make the square more difficult to handle,
and it isn't strictly necessary.
-
7 1/4 X 7 1/4 inch square--cut
1. Cut into quarters along the diagonals, as illustrated below; these are
your 4 A triangles.
3 7/8 X 3 7/8 inch square--cut
2, then cut each diagonally to make 2 triangles, for a total of 4
triangles. These are your B triangles.
